Let be a subgroup of a group . A left coset of in is a subset of that is of the form , where and .
Similarly a right coset of in is a subset of that is of the form , where .
Lemma
Let be a subgroup of a group , and let and be elements of . Suppose that is non-empty. Then .
Proof
Let be some element of . Then for some , and for some . If is any element of then and , since is a subgroup of . But and for all . Therefore and , and thus . Similarly , and thus , as required.
Lemma
Let be a finite subgroup of a group . Then each left coset of in has the same number of elements as .
Proof
Let , where are distinct, and let be an element of . Then the left coset consists of the elements for . Suppose that and are integers between and for which . Then , and thus , since are distinct. It follows that the elements are distinct. We conclude that the subgroup and the left coset both have elements, as required.
Theorem
(Lagrange’s Theorem). Let be a finite group, and let be a subgroup of . Then the order of divides the order of .
Proof
Each element of belongs to at least one left coset of in (namely the coset ), and no element can belong to two distinct left cosets of in (see Lemma 1). Therefore every element of belongs to exactly one left coset of . Moreover each left coset of contains elements (Lemma 2). Therefore , where is the number of left cosets of in . The result follows.
Corollary
Let be an element of a finite group . Then the order of divides the order of .
\frac{\vert f'(a)\vert}{1-\vert f(a)\vert^2}\le \frac{1}{1-\vert a \vert^2}.
Furthermore, equality holds iff realizes a conformal mapping of onto itself.
Proof
Let and put . Define for All conformal maps from to itself, sending to , are of the form for In this notation, where is the inverse of as a function. Note that is conformal, so it has an inverse. It is clear that . Since and and then for Applying Schwarz’s lemma, we obtain for . Furthermore, if equality holds, then for . Therefore,
\left\vert f'(a)\right\vert \le \left\vert\frac{1-\vert f(a)\vert ^2}{1-\vert a \vert^2}\right\vert=\frac{1-\vert f(a)\vert^2}{1-\vert a \vert^2},
or
\frac{\vert f'(a)\vert}{1-\vert f(a)\vert^2}\le \frac{1}{1-\vert a \vert^2}.
As said above, if equality holds in (8), then Schwarz’s lemma tells us that . Thus, so . Since is conformal, the inverse function of , is conformal, and a composition of conformal maps is conformal, then is a conformal map of onto itself. Conversely, if is a conformal map of onto itself, then since a composition of conformal maps is conformal and because all conformal maps from onto itself are of the form We also know that so . Therefore,
\phi(w)=e^{i\gamma}C_0(w)=e^{i\gamma}w \Leftrightarrow \vert\phi(w)\vert=\vert w \vert \Leftrightarrow \left\vert\frac{f(z)-f(a)}{1-\overline{f(a)}f(z)}\right\vert=\left\vert\frac{z-a}{1-\overline{a}z}\right\vert
for all . In sum, equality holds in (8) iff is a conformal map from to itself.
Remark
Someone needs to code \abs, i.e. \left\vert # \right\vert. This is terribly annoying. Also, when using $$, why must one enter a line before and after.
